Also check the Shower on the stern for leaks both the nozzle and hose inside
the locker.

Don't know about the brown water, but the cycling of the water pump says the
water system has lost pressure. Most likely you have a small leak some
place. Could be the fittings going to/from the water heater (anything that
to took off and put back on).
This has happened to me at least once.

Hi -  Last year I winterized my 320 as usual by bypassing the hot water
tank, draining it, and adding antifreeze to the rest of the system.  



This spring we flushed the system out twice and added a bit of bleach like
we normally do but I'm finding that after the boat has been sitting for a
day or two, when I turn on the hot water it comes out clear for about 3
seconds then a browny/orange colour for 2 seconds then clear again.  



>From that point on the water is clear until I let things rest for a day 
>or
two at which point I get that 2 seconds of brown/orange water...



One more thing I've noticed is that my water pump will occasionally (1-2
times per day) cycle for a moment...This has never happened before...



Any idea what could be wrong???



Thanks!

Rich.
